About Egon Schiele Pillow Cover - Jacquard Weave - Musart on Pillows - Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911)
This Egon Schiele Pillow Cover is part of our original collection, Musart on Pillows and is made out of Jacquard Weave Fabric. Jacquard weaving consists of the interweaving of two kinds of yarn: warp threads (10,500 threads in 100% cotton) and weft threads (cotton, wool, linen). This extremely precise technique makes it possible to interweave around 80 threads / cm². This technique results in obtaining a point of great finesse, it also allows to use a multitude of colors. It features his notorious work Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911). This pillow cover features Egon Schiele’s work Self-Portrait with Peacock Vest, Standing (1911) which is one of the most unusual works in his career. Unlike most of his self-portraits, Schiele does not represent himself naked in a state of misery, despair, and grievance. Rather, we observe Schiele in an almost arrogant, proud, smug stance. A white aureole surrounds Schiele’s head, resembling images of saints or Byzantine fresco representations of Christ. Like other members of the German Expressionist movement (i.e. Gustav Klimt), Schiele was influenced by Nietzschean philosophy. In his belief that art and the artist can bring salvation to humanity. It is the first time we see in Schiele’s oeuvre, the V-Shaped gesture of his hand, in front of the solar plexus of his chest. The Austrian painter represents himself many times with his fingers apart. It is in this self-portrait that the famous gesture in V appears. Would it be a symbol? a gesture of protest? The parallel between the posture of his fingers and the art of Schiele is all found. It also echoes the Pantocrator Byzantine mosaic of Chora Church in Constantinople.
